5 NFL teams that need a Week 2 win to get on track
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It was a rough start to life for Tom Brady and the new-look Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they were manhandled by the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. After the Buccaneers took an early 7-0 lead the Saints scored 24 unanswered and never looked back.
Brady had a rough debut despite the decent looking stat line as he was harassed by the New Orleans pass rush to the tune of three sacks and seven QB hits. Both of his interceptions were completely his fault as he overthrew a target in the middle of the field for the first and floated a pass to the flat for the second which resulted in a touchdown.
Some questions are already being asked about Brady’s ability at his age but it may be an overreaction as the Saints are one of the favorites in the NFC and the Buccaneers are still gelling as a team. Luckily for them they have three winnable games coming up against Carolina, Denver, and the LA Chargers before making a trip to Chicago on Thursday Night Football.

It may be too early to ring the alarm in Tampa Bay but if they come up short against a frisky Panthers team the Brady whispers will grow even louder. Not quite loud enough to cost him his job but it may drown out that early Super Bowl talk before we even hit October.
